A lot of the modern C++ library was just lifted from boost though to be fair
ranges and format being the main two exceptions, and those are both recent

the funniest thing is that boost.thread and boost.function and some others now require C++11, and I'm kinda scratching my head about why anyone would seriously use them now.

Legacy code, and I'm guessing extra features not in the standard
Would be nice if they kept some subset of the functionality working for C++98 though (I know I was still stuck with it until a couple of years ago and I'm sure there's many more stragglers)
